Plus Size Kate Dillon Loves the Change

At the age of 12, Kate Dillon was mercilessly called “overweight Kate” by her peers. This led her to starving herself to the point that she got so thin, a talent agent actually found her to be good model material. At 16 she became one of the top models ramping New York, Paris and London. More than ten years later, the curvaceous celebrity is a household name in plus size. Now how did that happen?

Apparently, the full-figured Kate Dillon didn’t think trying to stay super-skinny was worth the trouble anymore. After three years since she first worked as a model, she fell into a depression and started gaining weight. She battled with anorexia for seven years, until it became too much for her that she actually quit modeling. She came back into the scene later, but this time to cater to the big beautiful women of the world. She confesses that she checks to see that she doesn’t lose weight, because now she really loves her body. An entirely different person, yes, but a better one. Not only does she model, but she’s also a spokesperson for an organization aimed at helping women with eating disorders.
